About Scrap4Free in Rochester & ME1
Connecting Rochester and Strood to Responsible Recycling
ME1 covers Rochester — one of Kent’s oldest and most historic cities — along with Strood on the western bank of the Medway, and the surrounding settlements of Borstal, Cuxton, and Halling. The area has a large and varied housing stock, from Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis in Rochester’s residential streets to newer estates across Strood. This mix generates a steady and substantial supply of high-quality scrap metal: copper and brass from heating and plumbing upgrades, white goods from property turnovers, and steel and iron from renovation and clearance work.

Instead of arranging skip hire or making trips to the Medway household waste site, simply submit a request and we instantly match you with a licensed local scrap collector active in your postcode.
